Susan attended the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra’s performance at Nicolet College last month and said exactly what many of us were feeling:

“I just feel so blessed to have been able to attend this performance.”

We were honored to host an afternoon of unforgettable music and memorable experiences. Thank you to the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra for sharing their talent with our community and thank you to everyone who helped make this possible!

Support can open the door to something new, whether it’s a ceramics class, cross-country skiing lessons, or a lecture that sparks a fresh perspective.

Through Nicolet College Arts & Enrichment programs, people across the Northwoods have opportunities to connect, create, learn, and grow at every stage of life. And because of community support, more people can take part.

Nicolet College Foundation scholarships help remove barriers for people who may not otherwise be able to participate in these opportunities.

Join us in making lifelong learning, personal growth, and community connection more accessible throughout the Northwoods. Give today at: https://www.nicoletcollege.edu/foundation/day-nicolet.
